- Latest Review: The Perfect Life by Anne Callahan
That sounds pretty ominous. I'd be a bit spooked, too. Also, I don't know how I feel about step-siblings being romantic. It's kind of icky.
Families are an endless source of stories...The story dropped me in the middle of a series of family dramas — some hilarious and others not so much. The story started with a family event and was nothing short of exciting, with a long trail of spilled secrets left behind. It was a roller coaster of one dramatic incident to another. It reminded me of the drama that usually went down in Madea's Family Reunion. The Jenkins and the Guillory family brought with them a lot of thrill. Despite all the commotion, Truly's story was one about the bonds of family and the love they share, no matter how unconventional.
What a beautiful description! You should consider pursuing writing, too.The characters came through as real human beings that readers could relate to. The author didn't present them through a rose-colored, fairytale, happily-ever-after lens. I saw them as they were — scared, disappointed, self-doubting, broken, loved, etc. Most significantly, I saw them navigate relationships with their turpsy curves even as they were subject to the unpredictability of fate and life.
Witty dialogues always liven up a story. Thank you for your fantastic review!The characters' dialogues were a scintillating part of the story. They were filled with wittiness and humor, making the story fun and entertaining. As a reader, I appreciated how I was privy to the inside gossip and secrets through conversations between characters and much more. The revelations were made in dramatic ways. Through the conversations, readers who had not read the previous books would get some insight into the story's background.
